About the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX170
The AirTAC SAI160X170 is a double-acting ISO 15552 profile cylinder engineered for heavy-duty motion control. It delivers a substantial push force of 10053 N and a pull force of 9425 N at a 0.5 MPa operating pressure. The 170 mm stroke is ideal for high-thrust pressing, lifting, and clamping operations that require significant power within a moderate linear travel distance.
Built with an extruded aluminum barrel and a highly corrosion-resistant SUS304 stainless steel piston rod (material code B), this model is tailored for harsh or washdown environments. It features PT tapered port threads and adjustable air cushions at both ends to manage impact deceleration. The barrel also includes dual sensor grooves, allowing for direct mounting of CMSE or DMSE switches if a magnet is specified later.

Where the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX170 Is Used
Heavy-Duty Stamping
Provides the 10053 N force required to operate large mechanical presses and form thick-gauge metal components securely.
Automotive Assembly
Drives robust lifting and positioning platforms for chassis alignment, utilizing the 170 mm stroke to move heavy vehicle frames efficiently.
Pallet Handling
Actuates large-scale pallet stops and heavy-load diversion gates in high-throughput logistics centers, relying on the SUS304 rod for durability.
Is the Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX170 the Right Cylinder?
Selecting this 160 mm bore cylinder is appropriate when an application demands over 10000 N of force at 0.5 MPa. If your machinery only requires around 6136 N, stepping down to the 125 mm bore variant optimizes space and air consumption without sacrificing functionality. Conversely, if you need maximum thrust up to 15708 N, the 200 mm bore model is the necessary upgrade.
This unit uses a PT G3/4 port and an M36x2 rod thread. For installations requiring position holding or drop prevention upon air loss, note that the standard adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston and does not act as a brake. In such cases, integrate the SAIL locking variant or an external pilot-operated check valve. Because this is a true ISO 15552 profile cylinder, it serves as a direct dimensional direct replacement for other ISO 15552 standard actuators.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SAI160 Standard Cylinder SAI160BX170 FAQ
At 0.5 MPa, the SAI160X170 cylinder provides a push force of 10053 N and a pull force of 9425 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 1.0 MPa, it can deliver a theoretical push force of 18095 N.
